Okay bleed the lines no solution, chance of air in the lines is remote, the s=
lave is higher than the master, the run between them is only a foot or so an=
d the line turns down for only a couple of inches between them. Additionally=
 the bleederis at the highest point of the slave. =20
The lines are new as is the slave and master.  =20
I did disassemble the master to check it out and it appears to be a Girling k=
nockoff. The piston and reservoir shut off valve feel cheaply made. I=E2=80=99=
m thinking that the reservoir shutoff may be leaking a bit until pressure is=
 built up thus forcing fluid into the reservoir rather than to the slave.  O=
nly way to check is order a new Girling master from Pegasus, basically a $12=
5 gamble.
Right now Donald and Pat are in the problem solving playoffs.  =20
Will advise if the gamble pays off
Thanks for the suggestions.=20
